>> too much time with pat o'brien. let's talk about this afternoon. we've had clouds thickening in from the west. they're going to bring a little bit of snow and some snow showers and flurries around here. let's show you the day planner this afternoon. hazy sunshine still going on now with clouds thickening. temperatures aren't going to be moving all that much more into the mid, perhaps upper 30s here this afternoon. winds have thankfully not been too strong. we'll see a couple of flurries, snow showers as we get into town. north of town and in the mountains, you have a better chance of picking up an inch or so. a dusting to perhaps half an inch is all we'll see here in d.c. here's the system. light snow coming out of southern michigan and ohio right now in toward western pennsylvania. you get south of indianapolis, we're looking at some rain it's warm enough there. locally south of pittsburgh, west of pittsburgh, north of morgantown. in another couple of hours is will be getting into garrett county where they have winter storm warnings in effect. 6 to 10 inches of snow possible

there. hardy, mineral, allegany counties those areas under a winter advisory. only 21 in oakland. 33 martinburg. easton is 32. bwi31. they're very excited about the happyings there up in baltimore. outside on our weather camera, hazy sunshine is what we're looking at this noon hour. get out of the way and let you look at that 34 degrees with cloudy skies and a west, southwest wind at 9. feels like 27 but the air is really drie. humidity only 38% right now. got some arctic air. you see it international falls now at 17 below. they were 31 below earlier. minneapolis is 9. so this is the only real cold stuff. the really cold stuff i mean when you look at temps in the 40s thanks to the clouds moving west to east both in the northern and southern branch of the jet stream. but we'll watch this disturbance as it rides off to our east. a lot of the moisture will be wrung out in the mountainses but we're still looking at a little bit of snow from this.

especially after dark. i think we'll be okay through the daylight hours. shouldn't amount to much and temperatures above freezing. here's a look at futurecast. through 6:00 the snow stays west of the divide. some will cross east overnight. we may get a sprinkle to mix in but the bulk will be north of d.c. overnight. that's why frederick, thurmont, hagerstown, they have a better chance of seeing an inch of snow than here in the district. 37 this afternoon. late flurries or snow showers especially north and west. tonight 25 to 30 with that dusting to perhaps an inch. not going to be a big deal. 43 tomorrow, milder. could be a sprinkle or flurry. better chance actually tomorrow night. then by wednesday 46. thursday 47. some wet weather, showers on friday. and then dry and seasonably mild for the weekend. jc? >> well, for some latinos, preparing for college can be very difficult. but there's one local nonprofit organization that is helping latino youth get ready for

higher education. today i'm saluting edu-futuro. >> they actually reach out to the latino community. it's very difficult to understand how the college application is like. >> marisela lara is a junior in high school. she is the first in her family preparing to go to college. edu-futuro is helping her go through the process. >> they have unique needs and barriers, language, culture. >> lara wants to study medicine and edu-futuro is giving her advice. layer a is in -- when ara is in the emerging leaders -- lara is
